I just replaced the stock tires with Falken 452's four days ago. So far much smoother than stock tires and they handle well in corners and feel good at high speeds (got them to 105mph). Check out tires-easy.com.

They will blow the other tires away in performance, but won't last as long and will probably won't be as comfortable or quiet.
But no need for bang for the buck tires if you can get them for cheap in the first place.

Thanks.
Yeah i always had one eye on the nitto nt05's but was looking for the 255/40-18 size witch they dont make on the 05 so started looking at invos came out to be cheaper then the invos so i jumped on it and went with 245/40-18 front.. i gave the deposit and then latter thought about the life of the tires
.. i know they wont last as long as the others but oh well no turning back now haha plus they look really aggressive, i like that
and i rarely race anyways so they might last a good while?![dunno](https://my350z.com/forum/images/smilies/dunno.gif)

I was running Falken 452's and I loved em'. I have heard alot of good thing about the Nitto Invo's as well. When you get a chance, check out Vredestein, not alot of people know about them, but I have heard MANY great things about their tires and the price is hard to beat. I am currently running NT555 stretched, well see how that goes as alot of people mentioned traction sucking when it's wet. I might have to be careful with these or switch em' out if that's the case...

Dunlop Durezza Star Spec Z1's
They are "out performing" the RE-11's. Good price and excellent grip for street and track. Better get them quick before they ratch up the price AGAIN.

The cheapest place I have seen tires was www.onlinetires.com;
Do you guys think the Nitto's and Falkens are better buys the stock Potenza's. Im going to buy a set of 365/35/19 for $319 each (from Firestone)
